Project Scheduling Under Uncertainty
Abstract
Scheduling is a very important part of the planning phase of project management. But the fact that it is a planning phase process makes it susceptible to uncertainty. This paper discusses uncertainty at different phases in project scheduling and then provides a method for handling uncertainty at the planning phase. We consider the project-scheduling problem with multiple resource constraints; discuss the uncertainty involved in the activity duration and its effect on the schedule. We propose a priority rule for a new schedule generation scheme, which takes care of the criticality of the activities and the randomness involved in the current and future activities. The method is demonstrated on a problem taken from the literature.
